Holy shit Chrono you sent someone a 360? Sweet lord.



Chrono's person already has a 360, so he's kidding around or something is up.

The way you can tell I'm joking is this:
All of Japanbore already has a 360.
Japanese 360s are not actually $5; at one point they were about 80 bucks but not anymore.
While Japanese 360s are cheap-ish, shipping is not, and international shipping even less so. It would likely cost over a hundred bucks to ship something as heavy as a 360.

That being said, I may ship Distantmantra a copy of Operation Troy just because he DOESN'T have a  360. My love is mixed with cruelty, because that's how I roll, yo.

I've actually considered snagging Operation Troy off Play Asia for $15. One of these days I'll get a 360 and they'll figure out some sort of region hack.

Mine arrived just moments ago. I am really stunned:


:bow Borys :bow2

He not only got me one of the few games that I'm VERY interested in for PS3, but he also stole Miss Poland's banner for me! I am sporting it, but it was too cold to change into a bikini.

Thanks, Borys!

You can't even fucking manage to flip an image? Are all Mac users so lazy? Or do you not know how?

What crawled up your ass?

I opened it in Preview, where it was backward. So I flipped it, then uploaded it. Or flipped it on Flickr. It looks normal on the flickr page, not sure why it's unflipped here.

BTW I flipped the image because it is awesome:

(Image removed from quote.)

Also it's not a banner but winter scarf! I hope there will be snow in Japan this year!

Did you? Sorry, I missed that along with the flippage, in my enthusiasm. I even booted the game, and ran my sac around. WOOT!

I'll wear the scarf, see if anyone greets me in Polish! Thanks!

It should, but if he wants DLC he'll have to buy it from a European store. Better help him get the Euro PSN cards when they start shipping.

Nice gifts Borys.
It is. It's very thoughtful. Super happy, and a little guilty that I didn't do a similarly nice treatment for my targeted gift receiver.  :(

So LBP works? Great! Is it in English :teehee ?
It boots! It provided the initial voice explanations in English. Is that John Cleese? It's SUPER.

Good thing about PS3 games being region free and HD - even the shitty PAL ones can be used by NTSCers

Also I feel bad now I don't have my gift organised :(

Fine! But only partially! I still need SOMETHING to open on Xmas.


Ooh! Secret Santa #1!


Festively decorated the box, too!


It's a box inside! Ordered some DVDs...


Santa Gundam! And it says Merry Christmas! (I still know very basic katakana)


Something about death to all infidels.


He cleverely labeled the bag wrapping as Xmas wrapping.


Wish #1 fulfilled! Nerds Ropes are the best candy in the world.


GameStop monies! Excellent!


And some heavy gifts! I'll wait to open those.

As a bonus: Here's a bug stuck in my ceiling light.
